"Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast." - Douglas Adams
If you think you understand the meaning of this quote, please please let me know, as I am racking my brains ;D

We landed on the sun and set up a base camp - an amazing feat. Those aren't petals...they're solar flares.
Smile on Saturday - "Vivid orange".
Tulipa 'Blue Spectacle' from the inside out. "Somehow" a crate full of tulips from the Lyman Conservatory Bulb Show ended up at my house... :)
Every morning you have the chance to be aware, that you are part of a solar system. And you never will forget the moment when the first sunbeam touches you.

I really liked this reddish sunflower in my neighbor's garden.
A lonely road leads to the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in the California desert near the Nevada border.

Comet SK140767 had just passed a new sun at almost light speed. While the eight-planet solar system (with a hidden ninth orb that claimed to be a planet, too) unfolded in front of its super-tele cyclops' eye, a particular moon caught its attention. It was the only moon of that system's third planet, and it was thousands of years ago that the comet had gotten that close to any planet.
Comet SK140767 was a little tired of relentlessly travelling through space, passing solar system after solar system. Should it aim at that moon? What would happen to the mother planet if it crashed into it? And what would happen to itself? On top of it, there seemed to be life on planet no. 3. The comet's heart sank.
Then, still at a distance, the comet detected the solar system's first gas giant. It had rings! Comet SK140767's mood lifted. Oh, how it loved to surf a planet's rings for a couple of centuries. And there was an asteroid belt, too! More surfing fun ahead! Comet SK140767 decided to stay in this solar system for some time. As it passed planet no. 3 and its moon, speeding up for that wonderful asteroid belt and gas giant with its fabulous rings, its heart sang with joy of the surfing fun that lay ahead of it. And on planet no. 3, the sun just came up.
So, curves. I couldn't really think of anything for curves. And we are all surrounded by curvy, everyday items. It was "one of these themes" where I tried this and that and wasn't happy with anything. Today, I looked around for more curvy things, and my eyes fell upon this part of a broken solar lamp. For years, it had faithfully served as a nightlight, but one day, as I brought it in from the balcony, I accidentally dropped it. Its single components didn't break, but it still wouldn't work after I put it back together. Needless to say, I still kept it for MM reasons ;)
The part you see here is the bullet-shaped "bulb", just a piece of translucent plastic with soft, curvy ridges/grooves all around, which, I assume, were supposed to spread the collected sunlight like a lighthouse would. At one point, I had the idea to place my small flashlight directly behind it. This nicely highlighted the ridges and gave the scene a mysterious look. I also thought that the bulb's soft tip looked like the Moon's surface as seen by the comet's "eye". This is when I had the idea of the comet. To make the curvy ridges/grooves look more like a comet's train, I used my improvised colour filters on the two bigger LED lights to add some "space colour" to the scene.
It's a single shot. The bulb's tip has a diameter of 5 mm / 0,19 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
A collage of shots starting with totality on the left and through all the action after totality. Taken while riding a cruise ship off the coast of Mazatlan, Mexico. End of this series, at least for now.
I took a photo of a grove of trees after the heavy snowfall -then just applied the solarize filter in PS. The winter sky and snow colors were most affected. Kind like black snow!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Today (25Oct22) we could see a partial solar eclipse from The Netherlands.
I used a 10 + 6 stops filter to create this capture.
Have a great day, cheers!

Some pretty intense atmospherics on Lindisfarne last week. Apparently this is caused by the reflection and refraction of light by tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Such big skies up there.
Press L - gives it some more impact.
This image captures the sun in full diva mode, high in the sky, halo blazing, lens flares descending like a celestial mic drop. Below it, cumulus clouds puff themselves up like they’re trying to get noticed, while the water just lies there, shimmering politely, pretending not to be overwhelmed.
It’s a scene that screams “I’m beautiful and I know it,” with the sun doing everything short of singing its own theme song. The clouds stretch across the horizon like they’re auditioning for a weather app background, and the water reflects it all like a passive-aggressive mirror.
This is nature’s version of a group selfie where one person clearly didn’t get the memo about subtlety.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.
Original plan was to go to the Addington Hills Viewpoint but the world and his dog had the same idea so backed out carefully. Ended up at Sandilands Tramstop in Addiscombe. Got a variety of shots but quite liked this one where a wisp of cloud passed in front of the event.
Nikon Z50 with a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and an FTZ adaptor using a ten stop ND filter hand held. Cropped quite a bit.
lunar eclipse is near
but here comes the one and only solar eclipse of today :-)
ok, it's a chandelier found in Casa Batll, Barcelona
Mt Coolum taken from east side of Mt Ninderry. It was another 3 am start to see the sunrise from the top of Ninderry but it was too overcasted and the sunrise was a non event. Slightly disapointed with the pictures we had taken so far we decided to pack up and go. Just as we were about to leave the sun light started to filtrate from between the clouds giving this amazing view. One of the ironic things about this picture is that the sun started to shine quite strongly in the area where the new Sunshine Coast Solar Farm (Valdora) is being built. Good spot for a solar farm I say.

The drought in California continues. We rarely see a lot of cloud under solar halo in the sky.
加州乾旱已經好多年了，平常很難看到日暈和多雲同時出現於天空。
火車已經想不出甚麼點子了，請大家將就著點看吧！ :-)
